Reply #15: As much as I loathed Reagan and Bush I

[youknowmenotdlc]

There foreign policy positions were far more benign than the warchimp's. It may have been a clumsy comparison for Barack to make but the point is well taken by anybody with a grasp of recent US history.

This is not a defense of the Reagan Bush years, it's simply the realization that although the reagan BushI policies were car wrecks, BushII's decisions have been trainwrecks.

Sidenote: If made dictator for a day I would put NoamcChomsky in charge of our foreign policy but in this election year we aren't gonna get an enlightened contraction of our military industrial complex, we only have a choice between Mcain's continuing saber rattling and our condidate's more sensible if not perfect approaches.
